If you have the opportunity to visit this you should take the time to do so. The cave is amazing and if you walk down to the beach you will see the beautiful pink sand beach. Of course as is the case with most of the beaches in Eleuthera, you will have it to yourself. More

The drive there is long but very interesting - banana trees and citrus fruit trees. The cave is huge but be careful of wasps. More

I am glad we went. The beach next to the cave is beautiful and has a small bit of very shallow reef you can snorkel. Going there was kind of a way to break up a day of relaxing and reading. More

There's a bit of history involved with Preacher's Cave, and can be appreciated by those who know they story.

There's not a lot to explore so the drive there will probably be longer than the time spent... More

Preachers Cave is a must see on the island. It used to be secluded and a perfect getaway. We love the pink beach. More
